Veganism is the personal practice of eliminating the use of non-human animal products. Ethical vegans reject the commodity status of animals and the use of animal products for any purpose, while dietary vegans or strict vegetarians eliminate them from their diet only. The term ‘vegan’ was coined in England in 1944 by Donald Watson, co-founder of the British Vegan Society, to mean ‘non-dairy vegetarian’; the society also opposed the use of eggs as food. It extended its definition in 1951 to mean ‘the doctrine that man should live without exploiting animals,’ and in 1960 H. Jay Dinshah started the American Vegan Society, linking the movement to the Jainist concept of ahimsa, the avoidance of violence against living things.

Go Vegan Radio’s Bob Linden interviews Dr. Neal Barnard about how a vegan diet can help people with diabetes. Dr Bernard states that: “A low fat vegan diet is very likely the most powerful diet ever devised for people with diabetes…We believe that this diet should be the first treatment that is contemplated by anyone who has got this disease.”

Hillary and Bruce, who followed a low-fat vegetarian diet in a GEICO worksite study, exemplify how office workers can lose weight, lower blood pressure, and reduce absenteeism if their employer provides healthy low-fat vegetarian meals in the company cafeteria. The findings are published in a new study published in July’s American Journal of Health Promotion.

“GEICO’s workplace nutrition program helped employees lose weight and reduce blood pressure and cholesterol levels,” says Susan Levin, M.S., R.D., an author of the new study. “If a company cafeteria offers low-fat vegetarian options every day, employees’ heath improves and they miss less work.” Ms. Levin is director of nutrition education for the nonprofit Washington Center for Clinical Research.
